*12.30 Update – 1st Round 2.5 Bingo Event Winners announced! Click Here , In order to enter for the 2nd Bingo Round, please submit your Bingo Cards before January 20st, 2011 (They will announced the winners on January 31st, 2011).

*11.17 Update– A new bingo round has started! The 1st round of the Season 2.5 Bingo Event started on the 8th November and will close on the 20th December. All previous Bingo Cards (Season 1 and 2) can be completed and sent to Daewon Media as entries into the Bingo Events.

*10.02 Update– Daweon has confirmed that they WILL NOT HAVEa 4th round of Season 2 Bingo Event – instead, Bingo Cards received after September 21st will be automatically considered in the next Bingo Event (3rd Season of Star Collection). -> This means you can still sent Bingo Cards to Daewon Media, and they’ll automatically put your entries for the next Bingo Round~

*9.30 Update – I just checked the Daewon Website, and there is a 4th (and last?) Bingo Event!! Please submit your Bingo Cards before October 21st in order for your name to be considered in the draw! Good Luck Everyone! ^^

**INTERNATIONAL SONES CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT** (Daewon Media have confirmed that they allow international fans to participate in the Bingo Event … In fact, there are lots of international/oversea winners for the past Bingo Events (China, USA, Taiwan, Singapore, and Canada -> myself! ^^ [Thailand, Vietnam and Australia are also on that list =D])

1. What is Bingo Card?

For every pack of Star Card (applies to both Season 1 & 2), you should find 5 Star Cards and 1 Bingo Card (or 2 Bingo Cards if you have purchased the first round of Season 1, in which there was a promotion of 2 Bingo Cards in one pack). Here’s a picture of how the Bingo Card looks like:

2. How do you play/complete the Bingo Card?

Front of the Card: there are 25 black mini-pictures on the Bingo Event Card (5 in one row, 5 rows in total). This is your Game Board for the Bingo Game (it is the same for every Bingo Card)

Back of the Card: there is 1 colour mini-picture printed at the top-right corner (every Bingo Card have different pictures).

For the 1st image of last row (Yoona sitting down blowing a whistle or something), the image on the Game Board is actually different from the actual piece (which is Yoona holding an album in front of the Album Shelf). -> Please refer to my “Perfect/25 Bingo Card” Pic Below

Simply cut out the mini-picture (carefully along the dotted lines), and that acts like a number (or a chip) for your Game Board~

If you’ve played Bingo before, you should know how the game works – when you have a line/row (either vertically, horizontally, diagonally) of 5 consecutive pictures together, you are a winner (but if you want greater/better prizes, you might want to complete more lines/rows)!!

Here’s how a “Perfect” Bingo Card looks like (all 25 squares are filled):

3. What do I do with my winning Bingo Card?

This is the new/exciting part (sorry if I bored you to death with the previous 2 steps ><). In order to have a chance to win something fabulous (autographed goodies), you’ll have to sent your winning Bingo Card(s) to Daewon Media, who were the makers & publishers for the Star Collection Cards!

In order for them to know who you are, please write down: (1) Your Name, (2) Your Complete Address, (3) E-mail, (4) Phone Number (*I used a mini post-it notes) and sent your letter to …

– You can sent multiple winning Cards to them (but I don’t know if they will take into consideration of all of them, or just categorized you into specific entry group// put only 1 card/chance per entry group)

5. I’ve submitted my entry for the Bingo Event. How do I know if I am a winner, and how do I receive the prize?

– At the end of every round of Bingo Event (usually the last day of the month), Daewon Media will post an official Winning List on their Trading Card Announcement Page.

– Note – Daewon Media does not contact the winners individually, they’ll just sent out the prize (through EMS) to the winner through the address they wrote on the cards (unfortunately they do not inform you about the status or give you the tracking number, so you’ll just have to wait patiently for the prize to come~)

6. What are the Prizes for the Bingo Event?

-> I’ll update this section later (I think it is best for me to publish this now~ Again, I’m extremely sorry!)

What I did was I cut out the bingo pieces and attach (stick) them on to the Game Card (You don’t want to make the Daewon staff angry!) … that way it is much easier for them to know which entry level (1 row, 2 row, etc.) to put your name in

For the last Bingo event, I’ve sent a bunch of Bingo Cards to them – 3 Perfect lines, 2 2′ line/row, and like 10 1′ line/row, so I really have no clue if they put me in all these categories or just one of them (and I don’t know if they consider all the same category cards, or just put your name once in each category)

i noticed a slight problem with the first image on the last row. The image is of one of the members in a seated position with her hand towards her face. the image i find in the set is one of the members standing with her hand extended. Is this a mistake?

For the 1st image of last row (Yoona sitting down blowing a whistle or something), the image on the Game Board is actually different from the actual piece (which is Yoona holding an album in front of the Album Shelf).

Congrats (I feel so proud right now!)!! Remember to update your status (the prize that you won & the overall experience) when you receive your prize so I can update it in this page! (maybe we can negotiate a trade privately if you win a Seohyun item~)

I’ve just updated that in the main content above ^^ They did not contact me at all – you’ll just have to wait patiently for your prize to come >< (fortunately they used EMS to shipped out my package, so it is pretty fast & secure~)

It seems no more 4th round for Season 2, but we can send SS2 bingo cards before Oct. 21st to join the next event after they release the new wave of Star Cards. Correct me if i’m wrong, i use Google Trans so i’m not sure about this information ^^

Thanks B. – apparently they have changed the last part of the announcement (they have announced the 4th Round on Sept.30) … I guess everyone can still submit the cards now and wait for the next Bingo Event for Season 3 ^^

Hi, I am so happy to see so many others winning Bingo event.
Thanks for the information Tom. I wish I had come across your post earlier, so I did not have to figure this out on my own and trust me it was not fun.

What did you all won? I won during the second drawing. I was so happy to receive the prize. Although I do have to say Daewon really did a bad job packaging it. My prize did not even come with a picture of proof. I tried to contact them by phone and I got no where (since I cannot speak Korean).

I got the Yoona signed T-Shirt and one red pom-pom during the second event =) I know they should include the picture for all the prize. I did not get a picture so I call Daewon and got no answer since they don’t really speak English. I am trying to find someone can speak Korean to help me to talk to them. I email them and finally got someone to answer me and this is the responds I got: First email “Fist of all, i’d like to say ‘very sorry’ for that. Surely i know you don’t need to know our inner situation but at that time we couldn’t take a only Yoona’s photo.” and Second email “When it comes to Star Collection Card premium, we’ve been provided with a goods and photo with Girls’ Generation’s signed from SM entertainment. we found our principles on making a fair like the same goods and photo if possible. But sometimes we coudn’t get a photo which can certificate her signing it. Unfortunately those kind of situation we had no idea. Because at that time we were strongly demand photo certificated her signing it but it wasn’t taken a photo at a studio at that moment. In these case, we can’t be provided with it. That’s the reason why we coudn’t make it.”
The funny thing is the guy who won Tiffany T-shirt they just send him a two line prize picture, but atleast he got a picture. If someone is welling to help me, please let me know. Thanks.

There are many people selling overpriced bingo event prize on eBay.
I wish a real fan would wins it instead. I would love to trade with someone who won Yoona’s signature prize. Third drawing one of my friend won the consolation prize. I would love to know how someone sending 40+ four lines envelope end up with a consolation prize. I won the Two line prize for the Third drawing, now I am just waiting to see who I will get.

Yeah, i would never sell my bingo item. It’s totally unique and very meaningful since i bought the cards, cut & pasted it all night, and won. I keep running to my mailbox every day to see if anything came. lol. the wait is killing me.

Just got my 2 lines prize in the mail. I got Hyoyeon’s signed Towel and a blue pom-pom. It is so nice and she look great in the picutre. If a Hyoyeon fan got Yoona stuff maybe we can trade =) I did get a picture this time, I guess I really have to find a way to talk or email Daewon again to find out why I did not get a picture for the 5 line prize.

I live in Taiwan. My friend got his consolation prize yesterday, I got my today. Good luck, I hope you get it soon =) Now I am just waiting for my Two genie cards from US and Malaysia to complete my set.

Congrats! Hey Tom (it feels weird calling myself ><), do you mind taking some pictures of your prizes and sent it to my e-mail (lovetwins885@hotmail.com)? I really want a decent update of the prizes from this tutorial.

really thanks for the information, have been heard people using bingo cards to get some autographed items !!!

btw, u mention on the 10.02 update all other bingo cards received after september 21st will bring forward to season 3 draw? does it have a specific date that when will the closing date for it?? is it october 21st??

btw, one more question, can i send the sticked card with the edges piece cut out?? which means like i have cut out the edges of it and i stick the other cut out in the front page of the cut out cards. @_@ sorry for it if i made any confusion @_@ too be simple, can i send something like what you show us on the image “perfect bingo cards” but with the top right edges cut out?

I think you can re-use the front of the card of the Bingo card that you cut out (otherwise there is no point of printing the front of the card), but since I have a lot of duplicate Bingo Cards, I just glued the winning pieces into a new (not cut) Bingo Card ^^

I got all my Season 2 Bingo cards from booster packs (Since I brought around 17 sets, I have 225 Bingo Cards to play ><).

For Season 1, there were actually 2 bingo cards in one pack for early buyers (before they released the 2nd patch on January), so you should look at the release date on the back of the Season 1 booster pack to see the release date (No.3)

I am not sure if there is anyone that is just selling just the Bingo Cards nowadays, but it really saves you a lot of time & money from collecting all 25 pieces from the regular booster packs (I think you’ll get one perfect in 5-6 sets).

I didn’t really sent out all 255 cards, since I have a lot of duplicates … but with my 255 cards, I managed to have 7-8 Perfect Sets (I don’t remember the actual number)

Thanks for this useful info. One question. Did you stick 1 post-it (with your name, address) per bingo card? or just 1 post it for all your entries? (i.e. 1 Envelope with multiple cards and only 1 post it?)

You can still submit your 1 line Bingo Card to Daewon Media, and you’ll be entered in the “1-line” Prize draw (which I believed are autographed cellphone accessories for Season 2.5). Since the first Bingo submission deadline is over (Dec.20), any cards that you sent now will be automatically considered for the second Bingo Round (from Dec.20 – Jan.20; winners will be announced around Jan.31)

Hey! ;D Would like to ask if i have to send one envelope per card or sending all in one is fine? 0.0 I also wanted to ask if I need to paste a post it with my personal info on it for every single bingo card i send? >.< thanks~ (:

1. I sent all my bingo cards (around 20) in one envelope – as long as you divide the bingo cards correctly (the number of lines you made) with some sort of dividers (card protectors, post-it notes),then the staff should be able to organize it and add your name to the corresponding Prize Entry (you don’t want to make the staff mad in sorting your cards)

2. For my case, I stick a mini Post-it notes with my personal information on the back of each Bingo Card (the side of the Korean instructions). Although it is tiring to write/print all the post-it notes and stick it to every Bingo Card, it ensures that the staff will enter your name for every Bingo Card you submitted.

I think the Bingo Event is more competitive now compared to the previous two seasons, since there are a lot of oversea sones submitting entries (and I feel proud that I helped some of you guys in winning a Bingo Prize)

Hopefully you’ll receive it soon (usually within a week, since they use EMS as the shipping method) and I hope you could take a picture of the Kitty Paw if possible and share it here!

Thanks alot for the tips! ;D should have asked earlier. haha. i sent in an envelope of quite a few cards before this but i think i didn’t organize and paste a post it on every single card. TT^TT wasted. hurr. ):

Sure ! I’ll take a pic as soon as I receive it ! Thanks again for your tutorial and especially for confirming the fact that oversea fans could participate ! I had sooooooooooooooo many bingo cards and I really thought I didn’t have a chance for this game…I almost threw away all my bingo cards !! I’ve been lucky to find this website before throwing them ^^

Hopefully I’ll get Hyoyeon’s sign as she’s my all-time favorite ! But I know I’ll spazz like crazy with any sign as I love all the girls ❤

Congrats! It’s a pretty adorable keychain/strap (Just found out that these phone straps are from Japan) ^^

I noticed that most of the winners for this round (even the grand/perfect prize winner) didn’t receive any authentication photos for their prizes, so I’m assuming Daewon/SM didn’t have time to take pictures of the girls signing the prizes ><

Daewon does not sent out e-mails to the winners. If your name is on the list, then they will just sent out your prize via EMS without giving you any notifications/tracking number. You’ll just have to wait patiently for your prize to come ^^

I sure you can trade your bingo cards, as long as you find a reliable sone that is willing to trade/collect Bingo Cards. (Bingo Cards are not as popular to trade compared to regular cards, since many fans still don’t know the purpose of the bingo cards, in which they might discard most of their Bingo Cards)

You can try leaving trading threads/posts/message in various websites/forums (i.e. Soshi Mart in SSF) and see if others are willing to trade their bingo card with you

Hi tom885,
I just checked the latest list of winners for the 2nd round Star Cards 2.5 Bingo contest and, guess what, I WON a kitty paw mobile device 😀 😀 😀 !!!! I almost thought I’d blown my chances since I’d only sent in 1 card and failed to see my name in the 1st round winners list ;). I never knew they “snowballed” the entries though for the next round 🙂 ! Thanks ever so much for the on-line tutorial and I’ll try to post a photo of my prize (once I receive it ) here ;). I’ve actually sent in another 1 Line bingo entry, so, second time lucky, maybe 😉 ? !!
By the way, on the issue of the spare bingo cards to trade, since I’m no longer wanting to send in any more entries, I’m willing to pass on my spare cards to whoever needs them to complete an entry for the last bingo draw. Drop me a line at (yeo_64@hotmail.com) if you’re keen. Cheers !
Kenneth.
